THE entire bar in Sick Boy’s fictional Leith hostelry in Trainspotting and the pool cue Begbie utilises to dramatic effect are going up for sale at auction.

Trainspotting aficionados will have the chance to own a part of the iconic films with a range of props, including Spud's cooker, seen in the cinema going on sale in Glasgow for charity.

Proceeds from the sale will go to The Junction, the Edinburgh youth charity of which Irvine Welsh, Trainspotting author, is a patron, and Calton Athletic, a support group for recovering addicts in Glasgow.

Calton Athletic's members advised the crew and had cameos in the original film two decades ago.

In T2 Trainspotting Renton, played by Ewan McGregor, returns to the streets of Leith to reconnect with the friends he betrayed at the end of the cult 1996 film.

Dirty glasses and a fake bloodied shirt are also for sale alongside the cue used as persuasion when Renton got out of jail.

Also being sold are the contents of the bedsit occupied by Spud (Ewen Bremner), Begbie’s prison cell and the boyhood bedroom of Renton, with Hibernian FC football memorabilia and the train wallpaper, as well as Sick Boy's (Johnny Lee Miller) pub.

Most estimates range from £50 to £200 but offers for the bar and gantry from the Port Sunshine bar, where much of the action takes place, are invited on application.

The auction will take place at Mulberry Bank Auctions in Glasgow on March 25 to coincide with the US release of T2.

Kirsty Harris, auction house director, said: “I like the idea that people have the chance to own a barstool, or a pint glass, or, depending on how much space you have, an entire Trainspotting bar, all for a good cause.”

Meanwhile author Welsh, 59, has pledged not to stop writing until his dying breath.

The Trainspotting author said he would be dead "within weeks" if he stopped working and found it difficult to sit around doing nothing.

In an article in Canadian magazine Maclean's, he said: "I couldn't retire. I mean, what would I do?

"If I stop working and publishing, and TV, and film and all that, I would be dead within a couple of weeks.

"I don't really have that kind of off-switch."
